Work For The 2026 Aurora Special Census!

The City of Aurora’s Special Census Initiative has returned, as the City pursues a count of its population held outside of the normal census. During the 2020 Census, it was reported that the City of Aurora lost approximately 17,000 people. The reported loss in population has led to the City losing over $4.3 million per year in revenue.

The City will be conducting a new construction count, which counts specific areas throughout Aurora that have recently been built and are now occupied! Through this new count, the City expects to increase its population total, and help fund key day-to-day operations and services provided to residents.

Currently, the U.S. Census Bureau is hiring Field Supervisors and Field Representatives to assist in completing the Aurora Special Census, with pay ranging from $21-$24.50, plus excellent benefits!
